The Men Who Stare at Goats, BBC 2, BBC iPlayer, screenplay by Peter Straughan, adapted from a book by Jon Ronson, and directed by Grant Heslov.

We were thrilled to welcome screenwriter and film director Peter Straughan to the festival to talk about the challenges and rewards of adapting well-known novels into film and television scripts. Here, Peter discusses the work involved in taking on the adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall for BBC television and his BAFTA-winning and Academy Award-nominated work adapting John le Carre’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
